Hi,

I just started playing Gothic 3. I am now at level 7, having reached Cape Dun. Playing the game with Alternative Balancing/alternate AI on patch 1.75. I have also applied the SSD profile using a fan-made file decompression mod.

The game has been enjoyable but my experience has been bogged down by serious performance issues. I have tried running the game on lowest available resolution [800X600] after turning off all graphical effects but still the FPS has been languishing at around 15 in towns/villages and stuttering has been pretty bad.

Are there any under the hood parameter settings that can be tweaked to improve performance?

Thanks.

I've found that most of the stuttering issues and framrate issues is due to loading from the hard drive. I found that once I moved the game to my SSD it ran like a champ. I must admit thought i've not reallly tried it on windows 10 yet.

i am on win 7 64 bit Home Premium and running it on SSD... this is a 64 GB full SLC SSD by intel or hitachi.. will have to open the case to confirm.. i had procured it through the IT dept of my company since it wasnt available on retail channels :)

Hello,
Unfortunately this game was badly optimized. I had been playing off of windows 7 64 bit on a Seagate 128 GB hard drive SSD. Our systems sound fairly similar but the game was running great for me. One thing I made sure of was to make sure it was not installed into program files. Seeing as you have only 64 GB is this SSD working as your windows hard drive? if so, then the issue is probably with availability of virtual memory.Some of the primary hard drive space is saved as virtual memory and if you don't have enough for a large program like Gothic 3 when it runs it can run very poorly. I think you see that though with any other program that has high memory usage.
